Coaches were a unique twist introduced in Big Brother 14 (US).
A coach is a former houseguest that acts as a mentor for new houseguests. Four returning houseguests, Britney Haynes, Dan Gheesling, Janelle Pierzina, and Mike Malin returned and selected teams consisting of three of the new houseguests. The coach of the player wins Big Brother 14 won $100,000. In addition to strategizing and advising their players, coaches compete in a Coaches Competition weekly, with the winner granting immunity to one of their players. Coaches may not vote, be nominated, or compete in any other competition. If all players on a coach's team are evicted, that coach must leave the house with their final evicted player.
The coach twist ended when the coaches were given the opportunity to reset the game by pressing a big red button in the diary room, cancelling that night's eviction and putting the coaches into the game as players. The only coach to not press the button was Mike Malin.
